Fitting In. Top Story - October 2017.
Straight, Bi, Gay, Trans, what do all of these names have in common? They’re all labels, labels that people expect you to fit in. Why do we have to fit in the first place? Why can’t we just be ourselves?

Biphobia
I already hear you say on a skeptical tone, “Biphobia?” Yes, biphobia. Too many people think that biphobia is just a subcategory to homophobia, if they even know the word. Too many people think that homophobia includes biphobia and transphobia, because it seems that all the LGBTQ2A+ live the same experience, that most people treat us all the same, even if society admits that we are treated differently from cisgender and heterosexual people.

It means that you are part of the LGBTQIA+ community, and it means that you stand against homophobia, transphobia, and close-minded hatred.

Best Sex Positions for Gay Men
No one can deny that gay sex is different than straight sex. One of the biggest differences between straight sex and gay sex, aside from the genders of participants, are the sex positions that are used.

A Look into the Ace Life
As a kid I always thought I was broken. I hated looking at naked bodies, always averted my eyes in the locker rooms, looked away when nudity happened on the TV screen, couldn't stand the awkwardness about it. Didn't understand why the girls in my class were swooning over Daniel Radcliffe, when I wanted to go to Hogwarts. (And for the record; Harry was cute, but Hermione was smarter and cooler, so she was the obvious choice there.) I didn't understand the social codes, known as flirting, because there was no way anyone could like me, the odd one, I thought.

Mickey's Chronicals
“Mickey, I need to see you in my office this afternoon,” Ms. Chapman says, jarring me out of my daydream of me and her in some very compromising positions. All I could think about was what I had done that she would need to see me? My friends and I leave her class to have our ritual last class of the day blunt until time for my meeting with Ms. Chapman.

Bisexuality and Me
A few days back I wanted to publish an article in which I express my views regarding the media, but that post in not publishable (maybe someday). In that post, my heterosexual side comes out, describing my "boy" behavior when it comes to girls and the media which portrays men with beards, tall, and well-defined. In this article I'll talk about my sexual orientation, telling you what this is.

Most Popular Lesbian Dating Apps
Online dating, if you're looking for a female partner, is brutal. This is doubly true if you have female equipment down there, because 90% of the time, the only people who will approach you are guys and couples who are looking for their first threesome. (Because, ugh, of course that's how it goes.)

So, You Don't Experience Sexual Attraction?. Top Story - September 2017.
As we know, with the end of our fleetingly short and carefree childhoods comes the new, challenging, and massively inconvenient age of puberty. Puberty brings up a whole host of challenges and changes to overcome and adjust to, both physically and mentally, and it is during this age that 99% of the population are awakened sexually.
